Belgacom touts LTE rollout, Fon partnership

29 JUN 2011

Belgacom said it is “the first Belgian operator to start rolling out 4G,” although its support for the technology is currently modest – a “limited group of professional customers” can start accessing services now, while it will “launch a commercial offer as soon as there are enough devices on the market that support 4G and there is sufficient demand from consumers and companies.” The company also announced a partnership with Spanish Wi-Fi company Fon, which it said will “allow Belgacom this year to build the largest Wi-Fi community in Belgium.”
